This little cafe is easily missed as it is tucked away in a lane way amongst neutral apartment buildings and we walked past the street initially while navigating with trusty Google Maps. The cafe was quite busy and it didn't help that the seating was very limited with a few small tables inside and some more outside. The tables were also very low which could be a little uncomfortable if you are a taller person. I already knew what I wanted from this much talked about cafe and that was their signature matcha latte and green tea chocolate fondant. As it was lunchtime we ordered their sandwiches too.
Poached free range chicken, chilli pickled Asian mushroom, iceberg lettuce, zucchini, white sesame and wasabi mayo $11 |
I loved the combination of enoki mushroom, zucchini and poached chicken as it made the sandwich so much less dry and really pleasant to munch on and appreciated that the sourdough bread was toasted as otherwise it would have been quite tough to bite. The general consensus was that the sandwich lacked in flavour though which was surprising as we thought the wasabi mayo would pack in some strong flavour. Overall, the ingredients melded well but would have been much improved if we could taste the wasabi mayo.
